Onion markets have had suppliers smiling throughout 2019, and the happy mood is bound to continue as the Peruvian deal kicks in this fall, marketers say.
The first Peruvian sweet onions had already reached the U.S. by mid-August, and plenty of supplies are forecast as the deal heats up in September and beyond.
When it comes to providing retail customers with the ability to lock in year-round supplies of sweet onions with a single supplier, Peru plays an important role.
Keystone Fruit Marketing, which first started importing its Mayan Sweets branded onions from Peru in the mid-’90s, has a number of promotions planned through the Peruvian season.
